Arkansas Tech University Senior Keely Futterer will be a featured performer in The Muses Creative Artistry Project’s “Printemps! Beauty of the French Art Song” at 3 p.m. Sunday. The concert is the first of the 2012 Muses’ four-part concert series at the Gardens, “Four Seasons in Art and Song.”

Futterer will present two famous coloratura soprano arias — Je veux vivre (translated “I want to live”), from Gounod’s opera “Romeo and Juliette,” and The Jewel Song, from “Faust.” And for the concert closer, audiences will not want to miss these two sopranos performing the beloved Flower Duet from “Lakme.”

Futterer is a native of Dover, currently about to graduate from ATU where both of her parents are music professors with a bachelor’s in music and minor in theater.

This past spring she was awarded the Encouragement Award at the Arkansas MET auditions, given the Little Rock Music Coterie Award, and received second place at the Tulsa Rotary Crescendo Competition.

The Muses Creative Artistry Project is a non-profit performing, creativity and healing arts company, designed to inspire, entertain and inform its audience about the value art, creativity and music have to the overall well-being of every individual and the community at large. Tickets to the Muses annual series are still available for $80, a $20 savings over individual prices of $25 per concert.
